6.1 Different ways :
| ||||
Library Master | Procite | EndNote | Reference Manager | Papyrus |
---|---|---|---|---|
LM: 1 merge a subset; 2 a) a1) a2) a3) | Pr: 1 copy and drag-and-drop; 2, a) a1) a2) modifiable, requires distinct BiblioLink procedure; a3); 3; 4 | En: 1 copy and drag-and-drop 2, a) a1) a2) modifiable a3); 4 ; 5 can import from EndNote's XML basic format and from Traveling library included in a MS-WORD document, e.g.: once anchored to a MS-WORD document a bibliographic record is embedded in it, if one handles such a document without the db EndNote records he can import them into a db, thus recreating them except for the Abstract, Notes and the six Custom fields which are never embedded | RM: 1; 2, a) a1) a2) modify and save under different name a3); 4 | Papyrus: 1 (drag and drop from another Papyrus 8 database); 2 a) a1) a2) modifiable a3); 4 |
6.2 Delimited/Tabbed stuctured input ASCII text file
| ||||
LM: 1 variable; 2 variable; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8 | Pr: 1 fixed or variable ( RT; RN; plus all 45 fields or only workform related); 2 fixed; 3 no, must be present as the first field or last used in data entry be assumed by default; 4 yes, if separated by // / or ; in name field; 5 yes (Custom/Modify option); 6; 7; 8 | En: CDF: only one ready-made option for ProCite that cannot be altered;
Tabbed: 1 variable; 2 variable; 3; 4 Tab delimited: special first line for reference type and second with fields names labels according to receiving EndNote RT; no fixed position required; recognizes multiple authors |
RM: officially not available
You can (try to) create your own capture definition to import comma delimited records. None is provided. Fully undocumented. Not simple at all: use only one destination field "Source" with subfields and its parsing option. Assume you succeed, the answers would be : 1 and 2 variable according to the specified RT; 3 more than one can be defined; 4 yes; 5; 6; 7 ; 8 |
Papyrus: 1 and 2 variable according to the receiving RT; 3; 4 (all multiple defined fields, e.g.: names, publishers, kw ...); 5; 6
see shipped tab-delimited plug-in filter; no built-in CDF format: user must create it, not obvious: producer will assist for no charge |
6.3 Can import alpha/numeric data from a spreadsheet | ||||
LM: yes as long as it is comma/tab delim. structured | Pr: yes as long as it is comma/tab delim. structured | En: yes as long as tab delimited or tagged structured, see above 6.2 | RM: see above 6.2
as long as it is comma delimeted structured |
Papyrus: yes as long as it is comma/tab delim. structured |
6.4 Can import proprietary format files | ||||
LM: normally only modifiable dedicated filters; BookWhere? -Z39.50 client search tool- can directly write data to an LM database | Pr: normally only modifiable dedicated filters, but can automatically convert Reference Manager and EndNote databases; BookWhere?; several databases can directly write data to a Pr database; or it directly reads downloaded file from host databases | En: yes, e.g.: built-in filters: tab delimited, its own XML all unmodifiable; EndNote, Refer/BibIX, Reference Manager ProCite tagged (RIS)modifiable ; ProCite unmodifiable CDF; Bookends: export as ProCite, ISI's Web of Science; Ref-11, NoteBookII Plus & NoteBuilder, Citation 6, Papyrus 6-7, BibTex + normally modifiable dedicated filters; directly reads downloaded file from several different hosts | RM: normally only modifiable dedicated filters, but can automatically convert ProCite and EndNote files; BookWhere?, ISI Current Contents, ISI Web of Science can directly write data to an RM database; directly reads downloaded file from several different hosts | Papyrus: normally only modifiable dedicated filters; automatic import from another Papyrus db; directly reads downloaded file from several different hosts |
6.5 Can import ISO 2709 format | ||||
LM: no | Pr: no | En: no | RM: no | Papyrus: no |
6.6 Can import MARC format file | ||||
LM: one has to create its own filter for a tagged MARC format (without leader and directory and each field on a different line) , alternatively, download records through Z39.50 online connection and MARC tagged modifiable filters, e.g. via the companion software Bookwhere? | Pr: one has to create its own filter for a tagged MARC format (without leader and directory and each field on a different line), alternatively, download records through Z39.50 online connection and MARC tagged modifiable filters (limited options to handle subfields in names) | En: one has to create its own filter for a tagged MARC format (without leader and directory, each field on a different line), then a series of specific options for handling MARC tagged records is provided (e.g. subfields to a limited extent ...); alternatively download records through Z39.50 online connection and tagged MARC filters, already made and modifiable (limited options to handle subfields in names) | RM: filters for tagged USMARC are available -others can be created, e.g. for UNIMARC as well- to download and import records through Z39.50 online connection
t is more than difficult to deal with embedded subfield codes as the whole import procedure is poorly documented as far as complex issues are concerned |
Papyrus: not ready-made: one has to create its own for a tagged MARC format (without leader and directory and each field on a different line) |
6.7 Tagged structured input ASCII text file, reformatting:
| ||||
LM: 1 field mapping depending on RT; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9;
many more fexible and powerful options are available |
Pr: 1 only: "when using workform [X], do not transfer field(s) ..." (field mapping depending on RT); 2; 3; 4; 5; 7; 8; 9 | En: 2; 3; 4; 5; 6 no; 7; 8 (any field); 9 only omitting strings for each single field | RM: 1 to replace text; 2; 3; 4; 5 (7 predefined patterns: author, periodical, date etc.: Source field lets indicate delimiters, also commas and tabs); 6 (4 keywords + date stamping --settings not at the filter level but in the import window); 7; 8 (also Casing Term Dictionary); 9; also "Periodical term Dictionary" for terms without periods in abbreviated titles that are not abbreviated words | Papyrus: 2; 3; 4; 5; 6 (kw + internal date stamping) |
6.8 Operability
| ||||
LM: (view errors at the end of the process) | Pr: 3; 5 | En: 3; 5 for Z39.50 connection downloaded records | RM: 1; 2; 3; 4; 5 | Papyrus: 2; 3; 4; 5
also: set level of fussinness; debugging window; retain/discard, de-capitalize incoming keywords; renumber incoming records; rejected items file |
6.9 Import through Z39.50 online connection
|
||||
LM: n.a. (needs external software BookWhereŽ with automatic SendTo feature) | Pr: yes (via incorporated subset of BookWhereŽ client); yes | En: yes (via incorporated proprietary toolkit); yes | RM: yes (via incorporated subset of BookWhereŽ client); yes | Papyrus: n.a. |
